The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Supports two DIFFERENT applications open at one time; one on the External Monitor, and one on the Laptop Screen. Multi-tasking has never been more convenient.

    I see this on several sites that sell compal IFL90 machines.

    Here is a picture that shows three screens. The laptop video card supports its screen plus one of the external monitors, and then if you want 2, 3, 4 or 5 external monitors you will need the VTBook video adapter, or the Matrox Triple or DualHead2Go, or both.

    You can also see the TV Tuner in its "always on top" mode in the lower right corner of the laptop screen.

    Virtually all laptops on the market today support Dual Video output.
